Do Not Miss Possibly The Most Affordable Riverfront Living Development In 2018!

The new Riverfront Residences condo sits on the former Rio Casa land which only had 286 units comprising of apartments and maisonettes spread into 7 blocks. Targeting at the extremely low density nature and a beautiful 200 meters river frontage, the property was put up for sale in April 2017 after 80 percent of the owners given their consensus to proceed. The massive plot of land spans about 396,231 square feet and with the plot ratio of 2.8, the land price of Riverfront Residences psf works out to be about $706 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).

Bearing a permissible gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 1,109,447 square feet, Riverfront Residences is potentially allowed to redeveloped to about 1400 residential units basing on an average size of 65 square meters each. The joint venture for this $1.4 billion development comprises of Oxley Holdings which holds a 35% stake, KSH Holdings which also holds another 35%, Lian Beng Group at 20% and Apricot Capital at 10%. Based on the land costs and other factors, it is expected that the Riverfront Residences price will be in the range of $1400 to $1600 psf.

Analyst expect Riverfront Residences to be in good demand considering the lack of new condominium launches in the mid to short term. Some nearby condos which are older include Rio Vista, The Florida, Boathouse Residences, Heron Bay, Parc Vera and Evergreen Park. There is only one project so far which is Kingsford Waterbay where they are 95% sold at the time of writing and to be completed by 1st quarter of 2019. Looking at the market sentiments and activities in District 19 generally, Riverfront Residences should see great interest from buyers who have been living in the area.

A typical project should take about 2 to 3 years to be built and ready for keys collection. However in this case, it is expected that Riverfront Residences TOP date should be around year 2022 considering that more work has to be done to demolish and rebuild this huge development of more than 1000 units.
